A pink canopy of cherry blossoms greeted me on a short stroll after dropping the little one at daycare. The soft petals overhead and gentle breeze made for a peaceful and refreshing moment to start the day. Spring really knows how to brighten the everyday!
I didn’t realize the tree above Hachiko was a cherry tree until now. Come to think of it, it makes perfect sense—it has to be. Seeing it in bloom adds a nice touch of seasonal beauty to such an iconic spot in Shibuya. A little detail I somehow missed before!
Came back from the US for this? It’s the last days of Hanami, and the rain just won’t stop—it feels more like the rainy season than spring. So much for enjoying the cherry blossoms! At least the rain gives the petals a kind of melancholic beauty, but it’s not the Hanami I was hoping for.
This hanami season was a disappointment for me, thanks to bad weather and a business trip. I only had a few hours to grab some shots around home. I used the 90mm f/2 mounted on the X-T2—a fantastic lens for sharpness and bokeh. Unfortunately, this is my second copy of the 90mm, as the first…
Testing out the different focus modes, including face tracking, in Shinjuku during commuting time was a real eye-opener. The fast-moving crowd and ever-changing scenes were a perfect challenge, and the camera handled it well. Face tracking was especially impressive, locking onto subjects even in the chaos. A great spot to push the camera to its…
First night out with my Canon replacement, the Fuji X-T2—not bad at all! The camera handled low light beautifully, with sharp details and rich tones. The compact size and retro design were a pleasure to work with, and it’s definitely shaping up to be a great choice. Excited to explore its full potential!
End of a 15 years era for me: goodbye Canon ! Let’s be honest, I’m not a pro and I’m getting tired of carrying so much weight around. The 5Dmk4 was also a huge disappointment for me: it is lacking some of the basic features I learned to love from my little Panasonic (electronic shutter,…
The Hakone Skyline is a fantastic route for breathtaking views of Fujisan. Winding through the mountains, it offers clear vantage points where the iconic peak dominates the horizon, especially on clear days. A perfect drive for photographers, nature lovers, or anyone wanting to soak in the beauty of Mount Fuji!
Same spot, same camera, but two completely different looks thanks to using two different focal lengths. A wider lens captures the full scene, offering a sense of scale and context, while a longer focal length zooms in on the details, creating a more focused and intimate perspective. Just a reminder of how much your lens…
